I get very frustrated when I see recipes using &quot;packets&quot; as I have no clue how that translates to actual culture amounts. Enough with the packet racket! How about giving recipes with alternative ingredients so everyone can try the recipe?

I like making mine with salt, pepper, paprika, thyme and some roasted garlic mixed in. It&#39;s a great addition to grilled cheese sandwiches when paired with a nice sharp cheddar (and some bacon, can&#39;t forget the bacon!).
